Two exceptional works for a beautiful invitation to travel. This CD by the Annesci Quartet is currently unavailable.

Discover a unique French musical heritage Born in Paris in 1791 and brought up surrounded by music, Louis- Ferdinand Hérold began composing at the age of 7. In 1810, he won a first prize for piano, with a piece he had composed himself; quite unheard of! And in 1812, he won the Prix de Rome. By the time he died, he had left roughly 160 scores. A few years ago, at the request of the Ministry of Culture, the Annesci Quartet recorded the complete string quartets of Louis-Ferdinand Hérold. Listen to the complete works on a disc that won Compact and Repertoire prizes. This CD by the Annesci Quartet is currently unavailable.
